Book this boat & feel VIP - This was a perfect experience! The boat had all the modern desires including a WC. We were treated to 4 different wines and a truly spectacular cheese and meat board once on the boat. Both of our guides were kind and knowledgeable, having both been born and raised in the area which is important. Do yourself a favor and book this cruise! See all the beauty of the area from the water view with great people.

A+ - Pedro and Silvia provided a wonderful outing for our group of six. Pedro was quick to answer any questions we had prior to arriving. The pier was relatively easy to find and the boat was identifiable. We enjoyed the wine/cheese and knowledge that was shared with us. Highly recommend this private tour.

Great way to experience Porto! Worth every cent... - So lovely to drink in the history of Porto with a gentle boat trip. Pedro is a passionate local and has so much knowledge to share about his home city. The trip was exactly as described though it completely exceeded our expectations. Thanks again to Pedro and his family!

A great, personal way to see the city! - This was such a great way to see this beautiful city and not be surrounded by a bunch of other people- just be with your own friends and family. Pedro and Eduardo were both terrific!

Idyllic experience!!!! WOW 🤩 - We were taken care of by a lovely couple and were surprised to be alone on the boat. They agreed to postpone our cruise until the next day, even though we were the only participants! What service!!! Superb, very clean boat. We could walk there as we pleased. What an incredible time as a couple we had! Wine in abundance, possibility of putting on our own music, respect for our privacy. And what a breathtaking view of Porto and its 6 bridges! To then go up the river to the sea gates at sunset. A magical moment! In all sincerity, it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve done in my life! You can't go to Porto without doing this activity, and I undoubtedly recommend this young, very professional company! We felt safe at all times!

Fantastic! - A fantastic day out on the Douro - we did 4 hours mid-day and the crew served lunch. Everybody was friendly and the scenery was beautiful.

Best private yacht tour on the Douro - There’s lots of private boat tours you can choose from in Porto. Choose this one on the Douro. Pedro is one of the ONLY local tour guides. Born and raised on in Porto - the difference between someone spitting out a script and someone who actually has generations of knowledge about the local area to draw from The vessel is great. Not too small not too big. You can also move around from the relaxing aft deck where you can hookup your own music via Bluetooth, the bow with cushions and views all around or move up to the level above the cockpit for the best all around pictures. The guides were also incredibly knowledgeable. They were so flexible and asked what we wanted for the tour. They are open to accommodating just about any kind of tour you want. Many nice touches from passing out blankets when we cruised through a cool patch to waters (disclaimer - not sure if this is included or we just got lucky) They really want to offer a great experience and grow their offering and we could feel it. Much different from employees giving the tour and just ‘punching the clock’. Thanks Pedro and crew - a tour our family will never forget.
